How to work it out

  1. Difference: 75 − 12 = 63
  2. Divide by the starting value: 63 ÷ 12 = 5.25
  3. Multiply by 100: 525%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 12 × (1 + 5.25) = 12 × 6.25 = 75.

In a spreadsheet: =(75-12)/12*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 6.25 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 625. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $12 to $75 has gone up by 525%.

Why the change back is different

A 525% rise followed by a 525% fall does not bring you back to 12: it gives -318.75. The second percentage is taken of 75, not of 12, so to undo this change you need 84% instead.
